Sure. Unacceptable interference with the freedom of package authors to remove stuff. Unacceptable because developers need the freedom to remove old versions of their software from the internet. :)
You still seem to be ignoring the part where insisting that people keep old things around for your convenience *also* means they get support requests from everyone *else* on the internet. In other words, a package author has to pay an (ongoing and perpetual) support cost for your temporary convenience.
You are not making a principled moral stand here. Rather, you are asking that other people be made to carry an additional cost, for your benefit, on the basis that you don't think their cost is important, but you think your benefit is.
